Whereas Charlie Kirk was a lifelong advocate for freedom of speech, civil 
        political discourse, and the political engagement of youth;
Whereas Charlie Kirk was a man of deep faith, a husband, and a father to two 
        young children;
Whereas, on September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on the campus of 
        Utah Valley University while exercising his First Amendment right to 
        freedom of speech;
Whereas, on September 11, 2025, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 
        Representative Ilhan Omar gave an interview on a Zeteo Town Hall with 
        Mehdi Hasan in which she smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to 
        blame for his own murder;
Whereas, on September 12, 2025, two days after the assassination of Charlie 
        Kirk, Representative Ilhan Omar reposted a video on X (formerly known as 
        Twitter), which disparaged the character of Charlie Kirk and those 
        mourning his death;
Whereas the video Representative Ilhan Omar reposted on X states ``Charlie Kirk 
        is dead, and before the body got cold, the far Right propped his corpse 
        up as a cudgel for their holy war'';
Whereas the video Representative Ilhan Omar reposted on X further states ``Don't 
        be fooled, these people don't give a single shit about Charlie Kirk, 
        they are just using his death to further their Christofascist agenda'';
Whereas the video Representative Ilhan Omar reposted on X further states Charlie 
        Kirk ``was a reprehensible human being. He enacted his political agenda 
        by preying on weak minded people. He took complex socioeconomic issues 
        and simplified them by pointing fingers at out-groups, demonizing those 
        groups, and siccing his massive following on them'';
Whereas the video Representative Ilhan Omar reposted on X further states Charlie 
        Kirk was a ``stochastic terrorist, an adamant transphobe, he denied the 
        genocide happening in Palestine, he believed in the subjugation of 
        women, and in his last dying words he was spewing racist dog whistles'';
Whereas the video Representative Ilhan Omar reposted on X further states 
        ``Charlie Kirk was Dr. Frankenstein and his monster shot him through the 
        neck'';
Whereas the video Representative Ilhan Omar reposted on X further blames Charlie 
        Kirk for his own murder;
Whereas clause 1 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives 
        provides, ``A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or 
        employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall 
        reflect creditably on the House''; and
Whereas Representative Ilhan Omar's actions in the wake of the assassination of 
        Charlie Kirk are reprehensible and affect the dignity and integrity of 
        the proceedings of the House and do not reflect credibility on the 
        House: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota be censured;
            (2) Representative Ilhan Omar forthwith present herself in 
        the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement

        reading of this resolution by the Speaker; and
            (4) Representative Ilhan Omar be, and is hereby, removed 
        from the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee 
        on the Budget of the House.
